We're in the midst of planning DD's high school graduation party. We thought it would be fun to serve an assortment of different sliders, but I'm having trouble finding slider buns. I know TJ's carries them, but they are more than I'd like to spend for a large number of people (her current guest list, which we've told her she has to whittle down, is almost 100! ) Likewise, homemade buns aren't really an option. Has anyone out there found a good, relatively inexpensive source of slider buns or small rolls?

Those slider buns, even the bulk buy ones, seem to be really expensive. Something that has worked for me but may not work for you is baking powder biscuits. A couple times I've been suprised by a lot more folks than anticipated on short notice and I had to revert to them. I make double or triple batches of biscuits, roll, cut with a juice glass, and bake. Assembly line production can turn out a couple hundred in a suprising little amount of time. These were occasions where I had friends whom I could recruit to the assembly line so it probably wouldn't work for a HS grad party but thought I should toss the concept into the ring. They are more crumbly and sloppy than yeast rolls.
